I found the following code and it just seemed too cool to not repeat.....Its probably a breach of the TOS by drawing an excessive amount of attention to the ads. However if we toned it down sufficiently then I think maybe it could be OK. Cut and paste it into a html page and see what happens!

hi wally, i just tested the code in firefox 1.0.6 and it seems to work ok. which version of firefox are u using?

i need to find some way of toning this idea down a bit so it is not so LOUD and so it will not be classed as drawing "undue attention" to the ads.....i think the whole concept has great potential! also it is helpful because sometimes the ads take a little while to display and i think this will really help to fill the void while the adsense ad is loading

cheers, glen

hi wally,

what type of page are you trying to paste the code into? is it just a html page or is it into a template for a blog, forum etc?

i tried to a modified version of this code in my forum and it gave me a lot of problems and the whole forum stopped working!

but if you just put it in a plain html page it should work ok....give it a go and let me know what happens!

cheers, glen

happy election! did they decide who won yet?
